A truly great guitarist and member of the rock duo The White Stripes (which he formed along with Meg White), The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. Jack's skills on guitar and penchant for the Digitech Whammy use during his solos, combined with Meg's simple yet effective drumming capture a very primal sound, immersed in the bands unique punk/blues fusion. Has an appreciation (along with Meg) for the Dutch art movement De Stijl, which influenced the trademark colour scheme and dynamics of the bands music and on-stage appearence. Also demonstrates that less is more is still a valid technical standpoint. He is also a talented songwriter, and is quite possibly the modern equivalent of the guitar gods of old, frequently being ranked as one of the greatest guitar players of recent times. Long live Jack White :)

Get the Jack Whitemug. Where the impressionable youth are indoctrinated to prepare them for exploitation by the established order.
The Man: Under the mores of the capitalist system you shall attend school. Through academic rewards and personal choice you will go forth and choose a suitable career, to which you shall persist for a substantial amount of time. A vast majority of the money you earn shall be given to the ruling class to keep us in power, and in return we shall sustain your need for this career so we can exploit you until such a time that your ailing health makes this practise immoral and you therefore become incapable of serving us. Once you retire you will no longer pose a threat to the system and our goal of keeping you blind to everything will have been achieved. Over the next few years you shall come to the realisation that despite the pleasures life has given you it is a hollow victory in the face of a reality where you could enjoy complete freedom. Although you now know the truth you shall no longer live to warn others of it, and the cycle which you became a part of shall endlessly repeat itself with the participation of subsequent generations. There are no exceptions and no escape. Our existence is built on this agenda: to keep you so devoid of possibility and/or alternatives that you submit and resign yourself to this reality, whether you agree to it or not.

Get the Schoolmug. A killer psychedelic rock song by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. Has been described as the greatest guitar anthem of all time, and was also voted number 101 on Rolling Stone's Greatest Songs of All Time poll. Has one of the most awe inspiring guitar solo's ever procured, and is also one of the most difficult songs to learn because of its profound intricacy. Some of the best versions of the song are the Woodstock, Berkeley, and Albert Hall performances, although generally the Woodstock performance is considered to be Jimi Hendrix's magnum opus. As if the Electric Ladyland version is good enough... the Woodstock version is of epic status, complete with mind- bending improvisations and an ending to leave you speechless. The song is often confused with Hendrix's blues jam, Voodoo Chile... hence the bracketed 'Slight Return' title added to the song on most recordings. Probably the greatest rock song ever made. R.I.P Hendrix :(

bypasses the standard expectancy of their own potential and limits"

Richard: Geez, Mike's taking his art exam a little too seriously don't ya think?
David: Probably suffering from the Hendrix effect. He's looking for absolute creativity...

Get the the Hendrix effectmug. The ultimate archetype of everything that's wrong with the music industry. Country boy turned wannabe gangster. Succubus to legions of parasitic humanoids who feed off popularity, i.e tweens. Worshipped by armies of fans who wouldnt know a decent tune if it came up to them and slapped their face repeatedly with a wet fish. Also has a legion of haters who seem to realise this also. Doesn't know what Germany is. Has a weird crush on sex crazed Rihanna, exhibiting typical stalker behaviour. Is one of a growing number of music figures whose real talent is overshadowed by their ability to sell an image of 'the next big thing' (if any). A corporate tool for music companies who should get the hint and realise their marketable teenybopper trash is killing off what is left of decent music.
Dont you just want to punch Justin Bieber in the face when he states 'who wants to make out with me right now?' during his Never say Never video? I know I do...
